Today, Clarke Valve (Clarke) announced that it has delivered its first shipment of Shutter Valves™ into the Denver-Julesburg Basin to a producer known for innovation in making artificial gas lift systems more efficient and profitable. The end user is a natural gas producer that is well known in the Denver-Julesburg Basin for being at the forefront of efficiency.

“The Shutter Valve is the first major design innovation that we’ve seen in many years in artificial gas lift and being able to bring this design to a forward-thinking customer is what Process Technology does every day to help our customers get the most out of their infrastructure investments.”, said Chris Wheat, CEO of Process Technology. “The price performance of this innovative control valve, combined with its compact design, and low torque requirement enables more energy efficient and less expensive actuators, which really helps customers improve their infrastructure while being cost effective.”

“Since the founding of the Denver-Julesburg Basin in 1901, producers have continued to use the latest technology to make the wells as efficient as possible, while reducing the cost, size, complexity and energy consumption of the infrastructure required to make those efficiency gains possible,” said Kyle Daniels, President and CEO of Clarke Valve. “Together with our distribution partner, Process Technologies, a leader in process instrumentation and automation, we are pleased to bring the advanced design of the Shutter Valve™ to the DJ Basin.”
